You’re amused… why?
One of the other bros’ girlfriends has started reading your blog…
Really?! She’s one of my SEVEN subscribers?!
You have seven subscribers? Right now? As you’re typing?
Yes…
How can you tell? I thought you turned off your notifications for comments and likes and things like that.
There’s always a subscriber count in the publishing side-bar. Yes, I can see how many subscribers I have. It’s only 7 right now.
Did it start with 7 or it’s recently 7?
It started with… 2? And all this time since… it’s now at 7… yes, recently a 7th subscriber who I don’t know — I can’t tell. They’re all just random profiles…
Well, that’s probably her.
It is?!?!
(Giggles) Yeah. I think that’s her. She’s enjoying your writing.
She reads English?
Yes… she’s Westernised… like us…
Oh? Okay?
Do you want to be her friend one day?
Sure! Why not? I mean… when the timing is right… when it’s not too awkward to be officially introduced, I guess?
(Nodding) We’ll set that up one day… (Smiles) She’ll be so happy to read it.
Why does she like my writing?
You’re giving voice to the WAG experience…
(LOLOLOLOL) WAG is usually an American Football term for their “wives and girlfriends” — you’re saying I’m giving voice to the WAGs of genre stars’ experience?!
(Laughing) (Nodding) Yes…
Aren’t there a lot of voices in this space already?
(Shaking his head) Not… really… maybe even, not at all?! I’m not sure… definitely not many… and definitely even less in ENGLISH…
(Laughing) Oh well?! (Shrugs shoulders) It wasn’t my motive…
Yeah, that’s alright. Don’t overthink it. Just keep doing what you’re doing.
I could change my strategy. I could just go directly into women’s reproductive rights monologues all over again and start boring people with public health facts and statistics.
(Laughing) Do it!!! Why not?!?!!? Write whatever you like, it’s YOUR BLOG!!!
(Smiling)
